Greetings,

I've installed X11R6, KDE, and glTron from the ports on a fresh install of 
4.5-Release.  I can start glTron okay, the menu screen appears, and I hear 
the music.  The problem is when I use the cursor (up or down) to select 
menu options it literally takes 3 to 5 seconds before the selection 
changes!  And if I start a game I am dead before the first frame is even drawn.

Now, I don't have the best hardware to run on right now, but even with no 
hardware acceleration it shouldn't be this bad, should it?

Also, I'm just now getting into X (been using FreeBSD since 1.01 but always 
as a server), and I was wondering how I can tell if my video card's 
hardware features are even being utilized?

My current config (don't laugh):

K6-2-300
96MB RAM
Viper V550 w/16MB

I have tried running with everything turned off, i.e. no walls, halos, etc. 
and even with no sound and at 320x200, nothing helps.  Any insight would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Matthew
